E-commerce platforms are helping prisoners save money, but security rules mean that when it comes to entertainment, their choices are limited — and decidedly retro.

Genuinely surprised ans pleased to see Canada treating prisoners as people.
Prison shouldn’t necessarily be a punishment.
It should be for rehabilitation and confinement of those too dangerous to be rehabilitated.
If someone is sent to prison, if they can be rehabilitated a short sentence to punish them and a rehabilitation should be enough. Yes, it’s not fair that someone should be free after so-and-so amount of years if they killed someone while driving drunk and took more years from that person’s life, and no one will be happy. But it does no good keeping them locked up forever, it doesn’t fix anything and it doesn’t make anything better.
Taking away their freedom is definitely punishment enough it my eyes, be it for 3 years, 5 years, or 10. They don’t need to be in a concrete and iron cell with no window and nothing to do 24/7. Let them live a normal life in their prison, life will be hard enough when they get released and have to find a job and pay back debt after having to income for years.
Ya, I was a bit taken aback by that sentence at the end of a long article detailing how restricted their purchases are.
